November 21, 20241 yr I use to use CTRL and Number pad to set different cockpit views. Doesn't work in FS2024. Can someone tell me how it's done in FS2024? Also I use to assign button 3 on my Honeycomb yoke to toggle cockpit/external views Can't do it in FS2024. Thank You Bill McCracken

November 21, 20241 yr It works the same way as in 2020 just a bit more convoluted. You do have to go in and duplicate the default 2024 keyboard settings and set up a new "General" keyboard profile. I had to delete a lot of key assignments but then just reassigned them like I did in 2020 with the number pad.

Shift+[F5] saves Custom Cockpit View (1) Shift+[F6] saves Custom Cockpit View (2) Shift+[F7] saves Custom Cockpit View (3) Shift+[F8] saves Custom Cockpit View (4) They are respectively called with Shift+{F1] through Shift+[F4] and can be assigned to buttons. I set those four up today in my Hondajet Honeycomb Alpha profile. If you dive into Settings, Controls, Keyboard, and scroll through the key combinations there are key combinations that save more, and key combinations that can be assigned to buttons on hardware controls.

November 22, 20241 yr An alternative is to revert to the 2020 keyboard. This is done in the settings dialog on the bottom left. Then you can bind the views the way you used to. Personally, I save a view with Ctl-alt-num above the letters. Then I bind the view to a keypad number instead of alt-num which is the default way to retrieve a view. This is all do-able in the 2020 keyboard. Unfortunately, this doesn't always stick to the next plane like you would expect it to. This seems to be a prob;em with all kinds of settings.
November 27, 20241 yr Author Thanks to all for your information. I now understand the SHIFT F1 , F2 etc. What I did in FS2020 was to assign different views to the number pad. Example Number 5 main cockpit view Number 2 Throttle view Number 8 Above panel view I can't seem to do that here. Any ideas? Thanks
November 27, 20241 yr Why in god's name didn't Asobo forget about the camera system and let a third party dev like //42, who have a great track record in developing the Chaseplane camera system, design a system and let Asobo concentrate on the sim. I remember in P3d having the Chaseplane camera setup and it worked beautifully. Also, I didn't end up taking handfuls of pain killers for my headaches, as a result of hours of head banging!

November 27, 20241 yr Author OK! Thanks to all. I figured it out. Save the view as custom F? Load F? view using Number Pad 8 Hope this makes sense to you. Bill
